Chapter 24 – Isvant

After that, there were no raids whatsoever. Literally, he only occasionally encountered low-level monsters, and he didn’t even see a shadow of bandits.

If he had the guts to attack again, he wouldn’t have been a bandit. It was a pity that I couldn’t bear it. The bandit’s raid, though dangerous, could be said to be a kind of opportunity.

Opportunities to make money by legally slicing the wicked are not very common.

In other words, there were no particular difficulties in going up. I was just terribly tired from repeated night shifts. With that feeling, we finally arrived in Isvant.

It was a long journey. The gate guards came out and inspected the inside of the wagon. They were arrogant and shouting something, but it quickly quieted down when the owner of the upper house handed over a leather pouch. Bribery was the most essential factor in omitting complex administrative procedures.

“Here. 60 Cooper.”

After entering the city like that, it was time to say goodbye. The merchant took out 12 five-cooper coins and handed them over.

“Thank you.”

There were only ten adventurers, but by the time they got their pay, there were only six left. They either died or escaped during the battle with the bandits. All that was left was me, Xylo, James, Mutuga, the two-handed ax adventurer, and the psychopathic adventurer who pinned down the bandits with me.

As soon as I got paid, I went right into the city center, as I had no more to see with these cubs. Zylo tried to call him up by saying something, but he had no loyalty to hang out with him any longer.

Well, James decided to kill him if he ever came face-to-face. Now that I’ve arrived in the city, I’m glad I did.

In any case, this was the beginning of life in Isvant. I decided to explore this unknown city before I solved my travel poison. The first thing to do is to find out where there are restaurants, inns, smithies, or guilds.

But the most important thing is the restaurant.

Fuck your stomach

Very hungry.

I was desperate for proper food because I only ate dry food while I was there. The time is lunchtime. I must have money, if there is a good restaurant, I wanted to spend some money and eat a good meal. It’s a guy that’s full of fat and protein.

I walked in search of a restaurant.

The atmosphere of the city was quite different from Krasheim. Still, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in that there are tough people with all kinds of weapons running around.

As with all places where people live, they cannot live without weapons. This was such a world.

Well, other things didn’t really catch my eye, so pass. There was nothing special except that there were occasional boarding drakes. After walking for about 30 minutes, we entered what looked like a downtown area.

“Ah, Shiba eats.”

This street was almost bursting with all sorts of signs and passers-by.

Looking at the signboard, it seemed that it would not be difficult to find the restaurant. Among them, I went into a store that was moderately crowded. The name of the restaurant… Chef Patrick’s soup specialty store stood out with a very intuitive naming sense.

I don’t know who Chef Patrick is, but since he’s doing business under his own name, I think it’s okay to some degree. And I liked the fact that it was called a ‘soup restaurant’. It will be the most confident dish. Certainly.

In other words, it seems to be a place that specializes in selling soup under its own name.
If so, you should go in.

“Welcome!”

Upon entering the store, a red-haired girl greeted me with the smell of fragrant soup. What? Are you using such a young child as an employee? This was the otherworldly average to be deeply offended by the goddamn exploitation of children. If they could work, even boys and girls had to work.

I was guided by the girl and sat down.

“Hmm…The menu…”

I looked at the menu board hanging on the wall of the store.

“What would you like to order!”
“Which is the most delicious?”

I asked the lively asking girl.
I don’t know anyway, so it would be better to ask the clerk.

It is better to go with safety bread than stepping on land mines by choosing arbitrarily.

“The best thing is the bacon potato and bean soup!”
“Yes? How much is that?”

Bacon Potato… Just hearing the name made my mouth water. At first glance, the name seemed to overflow with carbohydrates and proteins.

Good night. Let’s try with that Potatoes, bacon, and beans were all my favorite foods.

“3 Cooper!”
“Hemmy.”

When I heard the price, I was so surprised that my eyes popped out.

Oh my gosh, what kind of soup is 3 coopers for a plate of soup.

In my several years of living in another world, my meal has never exceeded 1 copper. I had deep anguish about waste, but what. Since I made a lot of money, it would be okay to have a blast once in a while. It’s not like I want to live my whole life eating only human food.

While placing my order, I spoke to the girl.

“Then give it to me. What is it? Mr. Maid?”
“Yes?”

The girl looked at me. At the same time I took out a 1 cooper coin.

“Lady, are there any good smithies or street vendors here?”

I asked the girl, flicking a one-cooper coin with her finger and tossing it. This was a tip. Just looking at it, it seemed like he would blow up on something he knew easily if he gave him just 1 copper while calling out that he was a little girl.

It would be twice as good to just comfortably get information from the locals rather than wandering around looking for it yourself.

“Uh, uh! I mean!”

Surprised, the girl hurriedly accepted the tip and soon burst into a bustle. With 1 Cooper, you can get information and the best smile from a girl, isn’t it a good deal? Normally, I wouldn’t even dream of it. Now I have a lot of money

I am always grateful to the bandits.

“There are a lot of blacksmith’s near the eastern gate, and most of the street vendors are near the gate!”
“Then what about the inn?”
“Hmm… There are probably a lot of nice inns in the center of the city. They’re everywhere, but the facilities are said to be better the closer you get to the center.”

As expected, the girl gave her impassioned speech, and she explained what she knew to the best of her ability. After all, if you want to live comfortably in the world, you have no choice but to spend money.

“Is there an adventurer’s guild over there?”
“Yes! Is this your first time in this city?”
“That’s right. Oh, I’d like to find a bathroom too.”
“There are many public baths, so it should be easy to find! The closest one is outside the shop, go straight ahead, and come out to a small square, and it’s near it!”

Any more questions? ‘ The girl asked kindly. Of course there was a lot I wanted to know, so I asked everything. 1 cooper should be paid. That’s a lot of fucking money.

As I listened to the girl’s enthusiastic explanation, the story came to an end soon.

After finishing her story, the girl nodded and walked toward her kitchen.

The thought of being able to eat human food after years of not feeling better than she did made her heart pound uncontrollably. She was incredibly excited. First of all, the smell in the store was different. It seemed like my eyes would return.

“Bon appetite!”

The girl came out with soup in a big bowl. I received her bowl with a trembling heart. The scent that emanates. Soup was awesome. True to its name, the soup with lots of potatoes, bacon, and beans was very large and looked greasy. I was so happy that I felt like bubbles would come out.

“Salty…! Sweet, salty!”

As soon as I took a drink, I felt the taste of my hometown.

It was a common thought among Koreans that the higher the sodium content, the tastier it was. Enchanted by this unbelievable saltiness, I literally gobbled up the soup like a crab.

“Wow, fuck. It’s fucking delicious!”

The chewy, thick bacon and potatoes delighted the palate. With this taste, 3 coopers are worth it. If life is hard and exhausting and you feel like dying, it would be nice to visit this soup house again. Most of all, since the amount was large, I think I could eat this for dinner.

Satisfied, I happily left the restaurant.

“Come again!”

He responded to the girl who smiled and waved her hand. 1 The fact that he seemed quite happy as a Cooper was like seeing me in my childhood.

I need to wash it now. During the nearly five days of marching, I could not wash myself once. Of course, this is why long-distance missions are difficult. I can’t wash my clothes, and I’m tired of eating. From my point of view as a modern person, it was quite a burden to not be able to wash for five days even though I did not know how to cook.

Equipment disposition and settlement will be fine tomorrow.
As long as there was money, time overflowed.

I went straight in the direction the girl had pointed out, and I saw a large bathhouse. A public bath can be seen as an indicator of the size of a city. It goes without saying that the bigger the city, the more sanitary it is. Anyway, I went in there.

[Use fee 1 cooper]

“Wow, since I’m in the fucking city, all I have to do is spend money.”

Leaving behind the absurd shock, I washed my body. My naked body, which I met after 5 days, really stinked. In other words, it smelled like a man who hadn’t washed at all after a strenuous workout.

Literally, it was thoroughly washed. He scooped up warm water with a gourd, poured it over his head, and washed it off step by step from above. The herd shuddered and pushed. I took my time and slowly washed my body and came out with a fresh mind.

But even if I wash it, it doesn’t mean much, aren’t the clothes I’m wearing right now the work clothes that have been with me for the rest of my life? I washed my clothes because they were dirty, but it was similar to mana, but it felt good to wash it anyway.

I found an inn that way. They said the closer to the center of the city, the better, so you should look for it outside.

Still, it was my first trip, so I got lost a bit. And I found an inn that even empty words couldn’t call good, it was a three-story, rugged old building. The name is Bountiful Inn. Like the name, how it looks, and how friendly it looks, I really liked this cheap inn.

Because lodging will be cheaper.

When I opened the door and entered, there was a bald man sitting at the counter reading a newspaper. I told him

“How much is it for a night here?”
“2 Cooper.”

2 Cooper? It was a fair price for itself. Since my weekly living expenses were a little over 30 coppers, this was a reasonable price. Of course, I would have to look inside the room.

“Do you sell rice or something separately?”
“It’s only sold for dinner. The taste is good, so it’s popular with hotel guests. I recommend you to try it. Above all, I cook it myself, so you can trust it. It’s really worth eating.”

He said confidently, but he didn’t really want to eat. Inn rice is a bizarre thing that is simply boiled with ‘old’ ingredients that were rolled in the market somewhere. There’s no fucking taste. That’s it.

“How about water and toilets?”
“There is, but it’s rather small. See it over there? The toilet is next to it when you go out the back door. The well is on the other side.”
“Yes. Then, let’s stay for one night. Here. Get it.”
“Take this key and go to room 10 on the 3rd floor. Be sure to return the key when you leave.”

I took the key and went up the stairs. Seeing that there are so many rooms, the inside might be a bit narrow, but I can be moderately satisfied with just one bed.

An inn was just a place to sleep. There is a bed and a roof. If there’s a wall, that’s it.

Room 10 on the 3rd floor. Upon entering the room, the room was indeed small. One bed and a small window. And it was a bloody atmosphere like a gosiwon with only one box. It wasn’t a bountiful inn or anything at all, but I didn’t care.

The box seems to have something to put in, so I took off my clothes right away. He unfastens his sword belt, takes off his breastplate, and next removes his quilted armor from his. Then he took off all his clothes his, leaving only his underwear his.

The sword was placed against the wall, and the clothes and quilted armor were carefully folded and put in a box. Place the breastplate on top of it and take off your boots next to the box.

And jump onto the bed.

I was so damn tired right now, so I just laid down on DB and slept.
